Every Tuesday over at the  The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  The topic this week is a rewind – I’m not sure that I took part on this one when it was originally scheduled so I’ve plumped for it now:

Top Ten Dynamic Duos

1. Prince Jalan Kenneth and Snorri ver Snagason – what a great duo – The Red Queen’s War by Mark Lawrence is a fantastic reading experience – I really can’t do it enough justice or impress upon you how much you need to read it – although I will try.  And Jalan and Snorri are undoubtedly one of the reasons why.
2. Locke Lamotra and Jean Tannen – these two are definitely on my favourite list for duos – I absolutely adore the character Jean Tannen so this was a must.  The Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch
3. Hwa and Daniel Siofra from Madeline Ashby’s Company Town – this is a brilliant book which I absolutely loved and the friendship/relationship between Hwa and Daniel is just amazing.
4. Hope and Red – I’ve only just read this book and posted my review but these two are great characters to read and really made this story for me.
5. Paul Tsabo and Valentine from the ‘Mancer series by Ferrett Steinmetz.  This is such an entertaining series that I love.  Paul and Valentine are both ‘mancers and they make a great combination.  I think Valentine has to be one of my all time favourite characters to be honest – I love the elements of fun that she brings to the story.
6. Blackthorn and Grim from the Blackthorn and Grim series by Juliet Marillier – I’ve only read the first book in the series – Dreamer’s Pool – which was fantastic.  These two characters are a great, prickly, double act.
7. Dug and Lowa from Angus Watson’s Age of Iron – I loved this story and really need to catch up!
8. Shara and Sigrud (who makes the most unlikely secretary ever.  Shara is the brains and Sigrud the brawn and when they’re together they’re almost invincible.  Robert Bennett’s City of Stairs
9. Fort and Suzume from M L Brennan’s Generation V – A vampire and a Kitsune – what could possible go wrong!
10. Merry and Pippin – I couldn’t help it, I just had to get Lord of the Rings on here and I prefer these two hobbits on balance to Sam and Frodo as they bring more fun to the story.

So, do you have a favourite duo?
